groundbreaking disapointment submitted by David Marshall on December 27, 2010, 12:19am This movie was hyped up to me as a groundbreaking anime masterpiece, but I was greatly disappointed. Every character in the film was irritating, key voice actors were awful, the plot was convoluted, and the film dragged on for far too long (124 min).
